    During Ferdinand Marcos's presidency, he proclaimed martial law in 1972 which led to widespread arrests, extra-judicial killings, and disappearances. Historians believe the Marcos dictatorship was marked by over 3,000 known extrajudicial killings, over 35,000 documented tortures, over 70 disappearances, and over 70,000 incarcerations. By the 1980s, the country experienced debt crisis, extreme poverty, and severe underemployment under Marcos's 14-year period of one-man rule, which brought suffering to the Filipino people and some of the worst human rights violations.
